Chechen Teen Arrested for Planning Attack on Berlin's Israeli Embassy

An 18-year-old ethnic Chechen, identified as a Russian national, has been arrested in Berlin on suspicion of planning a politically motivated attack on the Israeli Embassy, German authorities confirmed. The arrest occurred on Thursday at Berlin's BER airport as the suspect was allegedly attempting to flee the country, following a tip-off from a foreign intelligence agency. While police have not disclosed the specific motives or background of the suspect, they indicated that he is under investigation for preparing a serious act of violence that poses a threat to the state. The incident has heightened security concerns ahead of Germany's national elections, taking place just days later. Efforts to obtain comments from the Israeli Embassy, state prosecutors, and the Russian embassy have been unsuccessful. The investigation is ongoing, and the suspect has been remanded in custody pending further legal proceedings.
